6 3 Your benefit Maximum operator safety All live components are enclosed to prevent accidental contact. As the high voltage compartments are independent of external influences (degree of protection IP65), the probability of a fault during operation is extremely low. As evidenced by arc fault testing, our switchgear systems are notable for maximum operator safety. Minimum overall costs The compact design of the panels reduces the space required and therefore the size of the station. The result is a lower investment requirement. Freedom from maintenance is achieved by constant conditions in the high voltage compartments in conjunction with the selection of suitable materials. The injurious influences of dust, vermin, moisture, oxidation and contaminated air in the high voltage compartments are precluded, as the gas-tight compartments are filled with inert gas. As a rule, therefore, isolation of the switchgear to perform maintenance work is not required. The panels only leave our production facilities after documented routine testing. Thanks to the plug-in technology applied in the areas of the busbars, cables and secondary systems, extremely short installation times are possible. No gas work is required as a rule at site. There is thus no need to evacuate and fill the high voltage compartments, test them for leakage and measure the dewpoint of the insulating gas at site. Maximum availability The busbar technology permits simple and therefore safe assembly. In spite of the extremely low failure probability of the ZX switchgear systems, replacement of components in the gas compartments and therefore a rapid return to service after repairs is possible. In gas-insulated switchgear, earthing of switchgear sections is performed by a high quality vacuum circuit-breaker. The circuit-breaker can close onto a short-circuit significantly more frequently and reliably than a positively making earthing switch. The panels are designed for an expected service life of over 40 years. The systematic selection during the development process of the materials used provides for complete recycling or reuse of those materials at the end of the service life. 6 Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01

8 Internal arc classification The panels are arc fault tested in accordance with IEC Table 4.1.2: Internal arc classification of the switchgear in accordance with IEC ) Wall mounting installation Classification IAC Internal arc AFL 31.5 ka 1 s Internal arc classification Free-standing installation Classification IAC Internal arc AFLR 31.5 ka 1 s Rated short-time current and duration of an arc fault in the cable termination compartment and in the busbar compartment 0.87 x 31.5 ka 1s 2) Key to table 4.1.2: IAC AFLR Internal arc classification Accessibility from the rear (R - rear) Accessibility from the sides (L - lateral) Accessibility from the front (F - front) Switchgear installed in closed rooms with access restricted to authorised personnel only The IAC qualification relies on a system consisting of at least three panels. Loss of Service Continuity to IEC The various LSC categories of the standard define the possibility to keep other compartments and/or panels energised when opening a main circuit compartment. Gas-filled compartments cannot be opened, as they would then lose their functionality. This means that there is no criterion for loss of service continuity of inaccessible compartments. Table 4.1.3: Loss of Service Continuity of the switchgear in accordance with IEC Cable compartments and surrounding areas of the fuse boxes Gas compartments: LSC2B Gas compartments are not to be opened under service conditions, and therefore an LSC qualification is not applicable. Key to table 4.1.3: LSC2B Loss of Service Continuity Other panels and all cable compartments may remain energised. 1) IEC corresponds to DIN EN and VDE 0671 Part 200 2) According to IEC , section A three-phase faults do not generally develop in cable compartments with plug-in connectors. That means the actual current value is reduced to approximately 0.87 times the specified internal arc withstand current. 8 Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01

9 Partition class to IEC The partition class to IEC defines the nature of the partition between live parts and an opened, accessible compartment. Table 4.1.4: Partition class in accordance with IEC Partition class PM Key to table 4.1.4: PM: partition of metal Panels of partition class PM provide continuous metallic and earthed partitions between opened accessible compartments and live parts of the main circuit.

12 4.5 HV HRC fuses Fuses from Siba (44534 Lünen. Germany) of 442 mm in length and a maximum diameter of 67 mm are used. Shorter fuses have to be fitted with a length adapter. The fuses have thermal protection. Tables and below show the assignment of transformer ratings to possible HV HRC fuse links. As the fuses are installed in a fuse box inside the panel, the operating current is limited to 60 % of the rated current of the fuse.

15 6 Fundamental structure of the panels The switchgear system is suitable for both free-standing installation (fig. 6.1) and wall mounting installation (fig. 6.2). Modular structure Each cable feeder panel consists of the gas-filled panel module (A), the solid insulated busbars (B), the cable termination compartment (C), the low voltage compartment (D) and the mechanism bay (E). There are no gas connections between the two compartments in adjacent panels.

16 Panel module (A) The panel module essentially contains all the live high voltage parts, i.e. the switching devices, bushings for connection of the busbar and outer cones for connection of the high voltage cables. Current and voltage transformers are located outside the panel modules. The pressure relief disk for the panel module is located in the rear wall of the enclosure. The seals of the components are o-ring seals which are not exposed to any UV radiation. Panel module with circuit-breaker and three position disconnector (figs. 6.3 and 6.4) The circuit-breaker operating mechanism, the gas density sensor and the filler valve are located on the circuit-breaker mounting plate, which is bolted to the front wall of the panel module. The operating mechanism of the three position disconnector is positioned above the circuit-breaker operating mechanism on the front wall of the panel module. The live high voltage parts of the switches are located inside the panel module, and the operating mechanisms are easily accessible outside the gas compartment. The gas systems of panel modules in a switchgear system consisting of several panels are not connected together. Three position disconnectors, circuit-breakers with three position disconnectors and switch disconnectors with HV HRC fuses can be used. Fig. 6.3: Panel module with circuit-breaker, 1250 A, panel width 600 mm Fig. 6.4: Panel module with circuit-breaker, 2000 A, panel width 1200 mm Panel module (enclosure) 1.1 Circuit-breaker pole 1.2 Circuit-breaker mechanism 1.3 Outer cone 1.7 Isolating system for voltage transformer 1.8 Voltage transformer 1.9 Current transformer 1.10 Gas density sensor 1.11 Gas filling valve 1.12 Cast resin bushing to busbar 1.13 Pressure relief disk 2.3 Three position disconnector 2.4 Three position disconnector operating mechanism 3.5 Main earthing bar Insulating gas SF 6 16 Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01

17 Panel module with three position switch disconnector and fuses (fig. 6.5) The live parts of the switch are inside the panel module and the operating mechanism is located in an easily accessible position outside the gas compartment. The optional fuses can be replaced without any gas work Fig. 6.5: Panel module with switch disconnector and fuses Panel module (enclosure) 1.3 Outer cone 1.10 Gas density sensor 1.11 Gas filling valve 1.13 Pressure relief disk 1.15 Three position switch disconnector 1.16 Three position switch disconnector operating mechanism 1.17 Fuse box 1.18 Earthing switch Insulating gas SF 6 Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01 17

18 The busbar (B) The solid insulated busbar is located on the roof plates of the panel modules. The insulating silicone parts of the busbar (end adapters, cross adapters and conductor insulation) have a metallised, earthed coating on the outside. The busbar is thus shockproof in normal operation. The busbar can be fitted with voltage and current transformers.

19 The cable termination compartment (C) The cable termination compartment (figs. 6.7 and 6.8) represents a supporting frame for the panel, manufactured from aluminium sections and galvanised steel sheets. The cable termination compartments of adjacent panels are segregated from each other by sheet steel walls. The cable termination compartment contains the main earthing bar (3.5), the high voltage cables (3.2) with cable connectors (3.1) and cable fasteners (3.3), optional surge arresters, current transformers and optional voltage transformers (1.8) and the mechanism for the isolating device for voltage transformers (3.8). The cover of the cable termination compartment may optionally be interlocked so that the cable termination compartment is only accessible when the cables are earthed. In the unlikely event of an internal arc fault in the cable termination compartment, the pressure is discharged to the rear. Partitioning of the cable termination compartment from the cable basement is effected by split floor plates in the area of the cables. The cable termination compartment is safe to touch when appropriate cable connectors are used.

20 The low voltage compartment (D) and the mechanism bay (E) The low voltage compartment and the mechanism bay are two independent metal enclosures. The low voltage compartment has a door (door stop alternatively right- or left-hand side), and the mechanism bay a screw-fastened cover. The low voltage compartment accommodates the protection devices and further secondary equipment with wiring. The mechanism bay houses the operating mechanism for the circuit-breaker (1.2), the operating mechanism for the three position disconnector (2.5) or operating mechanism for the three position switch disconnector, and the sensors for gas density monitoring (1.10) and the filler valve (1.11) of the gas compartment. the cover of the mechanism bay. The controls and indicators of the operating mechanisms are accessible from the outside. The entry for external secondary cables (6.5) is located in the roof plate of the low voltage compartment. Optionally, the entries for secondary cables can be provided in the floor plate of the cable termination compartment. In that case, the secondary cables are led in through the floor plate of the cable termination compartment at the left and laid through the cable termination compartment and through the mechanism bay towards the low voltage compartment in a cable duct at the side. The sockets for the capacitive indicator system (1.5) are located in Fig. 6.9: Low voltage compartment and mechanism bay Circuit-breaker operating mechanism 1.5 Measuring sockets for capacitive voltage indicator system 1.10 Gas density sensor 1.11 Gas filling valve 2.5 Three position disconnector operating mechanism 6.0 Low voltage compartment 6.6 Low voltage compartment door 6.5 Secondary cable entry 6.10 Mechanism bay Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01

23 7.1 Vacuum circuit-breaker The fixed mounted vacuum circuit-breakers are three phase switching devices and fundamentally consist of the operating mechanism and the three pole parts. The pole parts contain the switching elements proper, the vacuum interrupters. The pole parts are installed on a common mounting plate. The operating mechanism is on the opposite side from the mounting plate. In this way, the pole parts, mounting plate and operating mechanism form a single assembly. The mounting plate for this assembly is screwed to the front wall of the circuit-breaker compartment in a gas-tight manner at the works. For earthing, the three position disconnector prepares the connection to earth while in the de-energised condition. Earthing proper is performed by the circuit-breaker. A circuit-breaker functioning as an earthing switch is of higher quality than any other earthing switch. The circuit-breaker operating mechanism is located in the mechanism bay of the panel. The indicators and controls for the circuitbreaker are located in the operator control area of the panel (fig ) and are accessible from the outside. The pole parts are located in the circuit-breaker compartment which is filled with SF 6, and are therefore protected from external influences. The operating mechanism is located in the mechanism bay and is therefore easily accessible. Functions of the vacuum circuit-breaker - Switching operating current on and off - Short-circuit breaking operations - Earthing function in conjunction with the three position disconnector Fig : Operator control area, controls and indicators for the circuit-breaker (3) 5 1 Mechanical ON pushbutton circuit-breaker 2 Mechanical OFF pushbutton circuit-breaker 3 Receptacle for manual charging of the stored-energy spring (behind the cover) 4 Mechanical indicator for Circuit-breaker ON Circuit-breaker OFF 5 Mechanical indicator Stored-energy spring charged Stored-energy spring discharged 6 Operating cycle counter Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01 23

25 Locking of the mechanical pushbuttons The following methods of locking the mechanical pushbuttons for the circuitbreaker are available. Fig : Securing to prevent operation of the OFF button and securing to prevent cancellation of earthing Securing to prevent operation of the OFF button (fig ) The standard version of the OFF button is fitted with a swivel flap. The padlocked flap prevents operation of the OFF button. Interlocking of the OFF button in the earthed condition (fig ) (securing to prevent cancellation of earthing) In addition to the lock to prevent operation of the OFF button, the mechanical OFF button for the circuit-breaker can only be locked in this version when the earthing switch and the circuit-breaker are closed (feeder earthing). Locking to prevent inadvertent operation of the OFF and/or ON buttons (fig ) Fig : Securing by lock switch (locking of both buttons shown here) The devices permit locking of the ON and/or OFF buttons with padlocks. Locking by lock switch (fig ) The ON and/or OFF buttons can be designed as lock switches. In this option, the ON button can only be operated with a key. The button does not engage when pressed. The OFF button can be operated without a key. The switch remains in the OFF position, as the button engages when pressed. Electrical closing of the circuit-breaker is not then possible. The pressed OFF button can be released locally with the key. Fig : Locking by lock switch: locking of the OFF button Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01 25

26 7.2 Three position disconnector The three position disconnectors are combined disconnectors and earthing switches. The three switch positions, connecting, disconnecting and earthing, are clearly defined by the mechanical structure of the switch. Simultaneous connection and earthing is therefore impossible. Knife-switch three position disconnectors are used. The switching components of the three position disconnector are located in the SF 6 -filled panel module, while the operating mechanism block is easily accessible in the low voltage compartment. The three position disconnectors can be manually or motor-operated operated. Emergency manual operation is always possible. The mechanical controls and indicators for the operating mechanism are located in the cover of the mechanism bay and are accessible from the outside. Manual operating mechanism For manual operation of the switch with a lever (1), the relevant opening for the lever (5 and 3, for the disconnector or earthing switch) is to be uncovered by turning the selector lever. The switch position is indicated mechanically (2 and 4). In order to avoid maloperation, manual mechanisms are interlocked mechanically with the relevant circuit-breaker within the panel. Motorised operating mechanism Motorised mechanisms are preferably to be operated using the control unit. Manual operation as with a manual mechanism is also possible. The motorised mechanism is mechanically and electrically interlocked with the circuit-breaker.

28 7.3 Three position switch disconnector with fuse The three position switch disconnectors with fuses are a combination of a switch disconnector, a positively making earthing switch, an HV HRC fuse and an additional positively making cable earthing switch. Knife-type three position switch disconnectors are used. The switching elements (1) of the three position switch disconnectors are located in the SF 6 -filled panel module. The disconnector contact of the three position switch disconnector is fitted with a quenching plate system. This consists of cooling plates which split the arc into short partial arcs connected in series. The reestablishment of the contact gap after extinction of the arc at the current zero is supported by the cooling of the arc. The HV HRC fuses are located in the fuse box below the switch disconnector, in air at atmospheric pressure. A fuse flap (1.19) located in front of the insulated handles on the HV HRC fuse is blocked when the outgoing feeder is not earthed. Blown fuses can therefore only be replaced when the feeder is earthed. The additional cable earthing switch ensures that blown HV HRC fuses are also earthed on the cable side. Operation of the cable earthing switch is effected positively when the earthing switch in the three position switch disconnector is operated. The operating mechanism block is located in the low voltage compartment and is therefore easily accessible. The mechanism for the switch is designed as a snap action spring mechanism, and the switching velocity is therefore independent of the speed at which the mechanism is operated. The switch disconnector is always manually operated. The mechanical ON button of the operating mechanism can optionally be secured with a padlock. The controls and indicators of the operating mechanism are shown in fig Options for secondary equipment on the mechanism can be found in table Fig : Controls and indicators of a panel with switch disconnector and fuses Mechanical OFF pushbutton switch disconnector 2 Mechanical ON pushbutton switch disconnector 3 Opening for manual charging of the switch-disconnector s stored-energy spring 4 Opening for operation of the earthing switch 5 Mechanical indicator for Circuit-breaker ON Circuit-breaker OFF 6 fuse blown indicator 7 Mechanical indicator Stored-energy spring charged Stored-energy spring discharged 28 Technical catalogue ZX0.2 TK Revision 01

30 7.4 Busbar The busbars are located outside the gas compartment. The insulation of the busbar is of silicone. The surfaces of the busbar components are metallised and are connected to earth potential after assembly. The busbars are thus shockproof in normal operation. Bushing-type current transformers can be mounted between two panels in the busbar run. Voltage transformers can be installed above the cross and end adapters for detection of the busbar voltage (see also fig. 6.7). The conductive connections between the busbars and from the busbars to the relevant cast resin bushing in the panel module are made by the cross and end adapters.

31 7.5 Outer cone termination system Outer cone device termination components to EN and EN 50181, fitted gas-tight in the wall between the panel module and the cable termination compartment, facilitate connection of cables and surge arresters (figs to 7.5.3). The termination height of 700 mm provides for good accessibility when installing cables. When the shutter on the cable termination compartment has been removed, the cables are accessible from the front of the system. In panels of 1200 mm width, the two outer cones per phase are to be fitted with the same number of plug connectors. Furthermore, at operating voltages of up to 12 kv, operating currents of up to 630 A and short-time withstand currents of up to 25 ka, connection of plastic-insulated cables (35 mm mm 2 ) and paper-insulated cables (50 mm mm 2 ) is possible using an insulated cable termination (type RCAB 12 kv) from manufacturer Tyco. This cable termination (fig ) is not shockproof. When this termination system is used, the cover on the cable termination compartment should be lockable. Apart from this, always use shockproof termination systems where possible.
